Welcome! This is the website of Christian Kinesis, which isn't a real company, but we'd like to consider it a nonprofit organization. You may never know whether we have one, two, or fifty members. You also may never know what all we do. But this is what you can know: we intend to make what we can to help people, through entertainment, tools, et cetera, and to treat our users with the utmost care. Anyone can call herself or himself a Christian, but that doesn't make him or her one. The same theory is applied to being a member of Christian Kinesis. Anyone wishing to contribute, contact friendsnetwork@gmail.com. At the moment, in terms of specific requests, we're looking for someone to take part in creating an all-encompassing spriting guide--we've made a tentative outline.

Now, take a look at some of our possibly useful or fun programs! They're all freeware, by the way. If you want, for some strange reason, to give a little to the webmaster, you may visit the CafePress shop and purchase buttons or T-shirts.

Contains quite a few image effects of which the creators of many other freeware image editors never thought. It's a bit glitchy, so users should be careful about what they do with it--try to only use images whose width and height are multiples of 4.

A text editor that seems simple at first, but once you open the menu, you'll see that it has a sort of tab feature, an on-screen keyboard, a special clipboard that can hold as many items as can fit on the screen, a feature that emulates keystrokes to any given program (or up to 4 programs, in order), an Always On Top option, and an extremely complex find/count/crop/replace feature. The printing function is untested since the creator never prints anything.

A program designed to rename a list of files either via a given text file or by manually inserted names. It's not very useful unless you have a list and it's in the same order in which the files are organized (usually alphabetically according to the old filenames).

This program is practically a simple programming language and environment for making board games. The system is designed to support everything from checkers to more famous and complicated games with several stacks of random cards, dice, and so on. It comes with checkers and tic-tac-toe, but a few other games have been made for it. This also requires the Microsoft® WinSock Control. (License information pending.)

Control your cursor with your joystick. Includes horizontal and vertical mouse wheel abilities. Also has a slow mode and separate X and Y axis locks for accuracy, as well as the ability to use the directional hat or D-pad.

Intended to be a very simplistic slideshow program. There are basically two options: play and random play. However, the images are resized to however large the window is when the play button is clicked. The Drag Drop File Lister, with the options "copy list" and "include path" selected, is an excellent sidekick for this program. Each image is shown for about two seconds.

Creates 32-bit bitmaps with an alpha channel. These bitmaps are unsupported in most programs (including MS Paint), but they were used in both Rotis and Meteroids. DeProgrammer uses Alphamaker every time he changes the graphics for either of those games.

Another fairly unfriendly program, MaskMaker was intended mainly for DeProgrammer's older programs, but it still has some uses. It changes white into black and every other color into white and allows you to copy the resultant image to the clipboard.

BatMon is not a Jamaican man with a bat disguise. It is a graphical battery monitor for Windows-based laptops. There are 26 different images (blue, yellow, or red; anywhere from full to empty) that appear in the system tray depending on how full the battery is. Just one click and you can exit it. Version 1.0.1 reloads itself if Explorer crashes.

ThumbLocker blocks mouse and keyboard input until a thumb drive, CD, hard drive, SD card, MP3 player, camera, etc. that contains a file named "tacoA.ico" in the base directory is inserted. As with BatMon, just one click and ThumbLocker is gone from the system tray. But be careful not to run it if you don't have tacoA.ico in the base directory of a drive already--you'll have to reboot your computer and you won't get an opportunity to save anything. Well, that's unless you go make a text file on a thumb drive or CD via another computer and rename it tacoA.ico.

Notaker was made by DeProgrammer specifically for one good friend, "Tsuki" Nadolski, and is essentially a program designed for taking notes. It's got tabs, colorization, automatic saving, and a few other things. The readme file has all the details.
